My goodness, rushslide, where did you get that breaking news with such a devastating title. Gosh, those dems want to give it all away, don't they. Oh, I found it--- Fox news and hot off the press, just seven hours ago. Wow, are they on time. Since it came out about seven days ago. Now have you found a hot item. Insanity, you say... well, since when? You should have gone out and read the rest of the story instead of the manure that Fox news wants to spread. What is that 'aspire' program. Is anyone else doing things like this??? Oh, by the way, have you checked the last twenty years of Republican presidency's and their record on deficit spending. It is a good read you know. But, they probably don't print that where you live..Out of state and a paid blogger. Wow, you are gooooooood...

More than 2 million people are expected to quit a second job they hold only 4 the health ins. because they can now buy at group rates under the ACA. That means over 2 million jobs could b open 4 hiring. So much 4 fair and balanced bengazi news.

"...it is the super rich of Silicon Valley and Wall Street, combined with the super rich of Hollywood, who command the priority attention of Democratic Party leaders these days. Of the ten richest zip codes in the U.S. eight gave more money to Democrats than Republicans in the last two presidential cycles. President Obama doesn’t go to union halls to host fundraisers; he goes to posh Wall Street townhomes, the Hollywood hills, or to Tom Steyer’s house in Pacific Heights..."

So, social, your blog indicates that these counties are pursuing social agendas by wanting to have programs designed to help the local people. Sounds familiar to a Republican but foreign to the people affected by the oil boom. Yep, you always have to blame someone or something and make sure they are government or liberals or anyone but your views. Small world you live in.

once again, because the hard left likes to confuse this point. we all should agree we need some govt, and various agencies, but we don't need them pursuing agendas by EITHER side. or using them to punish those that don't agree with them. and that goes for IRS,EPA,POTUS,and every other govt agency. Like punishing middle class with largest tax increase in history - obamacare.

ND was not impoverished b4 oil. Our TR Parks and badlands were pristine and a place to be for vacationers. Now those r places 2 avoid. Too much traffic, crime, stink and pollution 4 most people. Our ND plates should read "We drilled on Kildeer Mountain". Greed caused this reckless drilling and greed keeps western cities from maintaining infrastructure; necessary from oil. The highest average rent in the U.S.--take that to Washington.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or sometimes USEPA) is an agency of the U.S. federal government which was created for the purpose of protecting human health and the environment by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress. The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon and began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order. The order establishing the EPA was ratified by committee hearings in the House and Senate. The agency is led by its Administrator, who is appointed by the president and approved by Congress.

Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974, when he became the only president to resign the office. Nixon had previously served as a Republican U.S. Representative and Senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961.

Hey, social, thought we might have some well water shipped to you from W. Virginia. Or maybe rushslide could move to ND so his blog could become relevant. Republicans= rich and big corporations only. Democrats= the working people and the enviorment we live in.

Definition of insanity is letting political parties control the oilfields in ND. Unless the politicians are out in the patch hands on they should just keep their political spew and deception to themselves and their cronies.

for some reason i just don't trust any of our emperor's storm troopers anymore. the emperor's epa thugs are pumping out enough regulations every day. our messiah will watch over us and supply us with any new laws or regs that He deems necessary. As it should be.

If every a lie is told as big as those that got us into Iraq, by a democrat--I will vote Republican. How about hiding or late reporting of oil leaks/spills? How about lies about the crime rate in the west? Obama did not cancel ins. policies--ins. companies did. He does not control their prices but i sure wish he could. Our oil and medical industries are run the republican way and both have way too much control on our money and our lives. That is not what i call "freedom".

Liars? Far more lies have been told about Obama than he will tell 4 the rest of his life. Not so many days ago the roger ailes chant was "2 million jobs will be lost from Obamacare". False. There will be 2 million job vacancies from Obamacare. I believe the red party only exists because of lies. "Misinformation works" is a red quote about some of their methods. Do u believe it when they say it? Good article Dean.
